Two people I know rated him higher than that. One at 20, the other said he will go top 10. Hence the speculation.

I was referencing this statement, with the implication that Skinner (assume that is who you meant?) is speculative and that you see Simpson in the same mold. My contention is that picking Simpson wouldn't be as speculative as say Skinner as he is a highly touted junior. My apologies if I'm off the mark.

The AIS people allocate it, mainly for geographic reasons. So Whitfield went to St Kilda as he lives 20 mins away, plowman and McBean (who are Calder kids) went to North, Daniher and Lonergan(because of his uncle) went to Essendon. Obviously geography for the country kids is a little different but but for some reason we ended up with Stringer.

I've had a bit of a look around and Spencer Whites name gets a regular mention. Looks to have a blend of size and pace so would he be a player we would have a look at at 22?
White is athletically gifted
At the draft combine he was in the top 10% for the 5, 10 and 20mtr sprints but he needs to some more work on his endurance finishing in the bottom 12% of the 3km time trial.
He also performed brilliantly well with his vertical leaps and he measured in just a touch under 196cm.
He should have a few clubs interested in him but it's very hard to predict where he might land.

Emma Quayle was on SEN going over the draft, - interesting
GWS will choose: (1) Whitfield, (2) Toumpas, (3) Menzel
Grundy will slide as far as Richmond's selection (Pick #9).
Wines at Melbourne at Pick #4.
Menzel is her pick to be the finest player in the draft, has the ability to break games open and turn them on their head, and that will appeal to GWS, especially given their number of picks, they can afford to take a risk given his injuries.
O'Rourke I like because he really wants to come to us. He's made that pretty clear, and after Josh Caddy, GWS will stay away from him I reckon.

GD - did EQ go beyond Melbourne and speculate on who we will take?
Either way it appears unlikely we'll be able to pick both O'Rourke and Menzel, which is a bit of a shame.
